Why are managers so insecure?

There are multiple instances that happened recently:

Our team is involved in some performance exploration tasks in GPU and we together made some assumptions which my manager approved. While going to designers we had to explain about the assumptions and my manager abruptly pinged me on personal chat stating not to speak any further. I had to pretend like I don't know anything.
I was debugging a performance issue with one senior teammate(my manager's peer). We found a big performance issue and came up with a quick solution. I filed a JIRA with the same person immediately and my manager got pissed off that he might lose the opportunity. Now since the other person is senior he will get away with all the credit.
Recently I worked on modelling one of the large features in the GPU. I designed the solution and took help from a junior member to code and debugged the performance end to end. When it came to presentation to outside teams and VPs, I got to know that my manager and that junior person is presenting everything and no one acknowledged me for my 3-4 month of efforts.

I feel like confronting it to my skip level manager. I am getting good work here and did lots of amazing stuff in the past and got a lot of recognition in the past 3 years. However, my manager's behaviour changed recently since I started interacting a lot outside the team and getting work assigned directly from others and he is bypassed most of the time.

Have you seen how dogs behave in the street? Each dog has a marked territory, a street. Any outside dog strays into another street, the original dogs of the street will chase them. Infact if a new dog comes in, the people in the street might throw a few extra biscuits, the dog doesn't realise this. It thinks it will loose it's food..

We are the stray dogs in the corporate world. Look closely our behaviour will mimic the stray dog characters of the street.
